History

aleksandrvk [35]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Silk cloth was extremely valuable in Ancient China. Wearing silk was an important status symbol. At first, only members of the royal family were allowed to wear silk. Later, silk clothing was restricted to only the noble class. Merchants and peasants were not allowed to wear silk. Silk was even used as money during some Ancient Chinese dynasties.

Keeping Silk a Secret

Silk became a prized export for the Chinese. Nobles and kings of foreign lands desired silk and would pay high prices for the cloth. The emperors of China wanted to keep the process for making silk a secret. Anyone caught telling the secret or taking silkworms out of China was put to death.

Which best describes the origins and spread of the bubonic plague in the 14th century?
lord [1]

The right answer is the third one: the bubonic plague originated in the Gobi Desert, part of the then Mongol Empire, around 1320. It then propagated to China and subsequently to India, Europe and Russia. The disease spread via trade routes mainly as a result of a poor hygiene. It never reached the American continent or Sub-Saharan Africa.
